Your loved one has been placed in a Baker Act facility.

Now what?

It can be a confusing and overwhelming time for families, and sometimes they’re reluctant to take legal action. I understand their concerns, but I always advise families not to take a “wait and see what happens” approach.

The fact is, the longer your loved one stays in a Baker Act facility, the more likely you are to lose your right to have any say in their care. Once their treatment is in the hands of the state, you will no longer have the right to make important medical or financial decisions for your loved one.

If your loved one has been Baker Acted, here are signs that they will not be released unless you take action:

You have no idea where they are.
Your loved one is being held in an undisclosed facility without your permission.
You haven’t heard from your loved one at all.

You know that they were Baker Acted, and that’s the last you’ve heard from them.
You know where they are, but you can’t make contact with them.
Perhaps you know where your loved one is being held, but you have not been allowed to speak to them by phone or in person.

You can’t get a straight answer from the facility regarding your loved one’s release.
The facility gives you the runaround and can’t provide accurate release information.

You’re told that your loved one will be released on a certain date and time, but it doesn’t happen.
You’re given no information as to why they weren’t released or when they will be released.

Your loved one is being denied medications.
The Baker Act facility may refuse to give your loved one medications prescribed by their doctor in order to intentionally destabilize them so they can be held longer.

Your loved one is given medication without their consent.
Patients in Baker Act facilities are often forced to take powerful medications against their will that can have debilitating effects and cause them to be held in the facility far longer.

Your loved one is told to sign documents.
This allows the Baker Act facility to hold your loved one long after the initial assessment period ends and continue to profit off their care.

If your loved one has been Baker Acted, there is no time to lose.
